Friday Favorites #2: My Christmas Playlist

I have a Spotify playlist for this time of year – and it’s only 9 hours and 7 minutes long!

I can appreciate most genres and style of Christmas music, but I certainly have my favorites.

1. All of the Killers’s charity Christmas songs!

My favorites from the collection are “A Great Big Sled,” “Christmas in LA,” and “Don’t Shoot Me, Santa Claus.” They mix my beloved indie-alt genre with Christmastime! This couldn’t be more perfect.

2. “There’s No Place Like Home for the Holidays” Perry Como

In some versions of the song, the part:

Take a bus, take a trainGo and hop an aeroplanePut the wife and kiddies in the family carFor the pleasure that you bring When you make that doorbell ringNo trip could be too far

This brings a tear to my eye given the proper mood.

3. All of the songs on the 2006 Bath & Body Works Christmas album

I know I’m not the only one whose mother bought this over ten years ago. With “New York Christmas” by Rob Thomas and “Forget December” by Something Corporate, this is a unique classic mix.

4. “Blue Xmas” by Miles Davis

This was on a Christmas jazz CD we used to have, and it would skip right after this song, so this would keep repeating. It would be late, and I would be too lazy to get up. I found it creepy at first, but I have grown to love it.

5. CeeLo’s Magic Moment

This album title is one of my favorite inside jokes I have with myself.

6. “Last Christmas” by Wham

I can jam to this song at any time of the year. It’s a great breakup song, no matter what stage of a relationship one is in.

7. The Soul Train Christmas Starfest

These songs bring me back to my childhood, listening to the CD in the car with my mother.

8. “My Only Wish This Year” by Britney Spears

No song can take me back to 2002 as easily as this one. #bestChristmasever
